June

Zach's baseball team.  His two best friends were on the team, among others.  It was 1st and 2nd graders, coach pitch.

Michael and his friend Joseph went to FSY at BYU.  They had a sweet view.

New Heritage

Makayla had received this diamond art kit for her birthday from a friend, but didn't start until we did the key chains at the reunion.  Aunt Kimberly sent her this light board that put it at a good angle and was a fun way to do it.  That was so nice and thoughtful of her.

Hair (sidewalk) chalk. getting it wet brings out the color.

We had a hail storm and some of the kids collected the hail and put it in the freezer.

Crazy summer weather.

Zach finding a new way to play at the park.

Joseph stole my phone.

Christopher went through the temple.  His friend Ethan's parents were there too.  Grandpa broke his wrist during the reunion, so he missed it.

Matthew tye-dyed this shirt for activity days.

Here's Joseph's

Michael let his friend buzz his hair

Emma's tye-dye shirt.

Adalyn's tye dye shirt

Sisters!

So cute!

Makayla and her Provo friends putting on a play.

They've grown up so much!

I mustache you a question...

Adalyn loves the swingset.

Matthew and Joseph at the activity days day camp making wire bracelets.

I was incharge of hungry, hungry hippos.

Makayla made mug cakes.

I think the recipe was too big for a normal mug.  These are HUGE mugs!

We didn't do many days at the reservoir, but the kids loved it when we did.

 

Stephenson Family Reunion

Adalyn was soo excited to meet and hold her baby cousins.

Zach's turn

Brian's family met us at Zach's baseball game, so that's why we are outside.

Makayla's turn

Rob pitching to Zach

Michael said he was going fishing...I don't think he understood the concept.  He let them go the next day.  Matthew found this huge glass at our next door neighbor's garage sale.

Grandma reading to Adalyn, Brooklyn, and Grace.

Emma and Brooklyn love playing together.

So cute!  Brooklyn is actually 3 weeks older than Adalyn, 2 years younger than Emma.

Cute cousins!

Rob and I went to dinner with the MTC presidency, visiting area authority, and went to the Tuesday night devotional.  Because we were coming from the family reunion at Rob's parent's house (Rob, Christopher, the little girls and I slept in the RV outside their house), Christopher dropped us off at the MTC, went to his temple recommend interview, then Rob and I rode the free bus through Provo to the mall (closer to the freeway) for Christopher to pick us up.  We got on the bus across the street from the MTC, and this was one of the stops along the way!  Right outside our apartment we lived at for 2 years.  Rob would have had door to door free public transportation to/from work if that was around when we lived there!!!  

Family hike at Big Springs.

This painting used to hang inside the Washington DC temple.  When they renovated it, the MTC became its new home.  We saw it while we were there for dinner.

Lizzy and the 2 yr olds.  She loved helping take care of the little kids.

Nathan helped Emma across.  This wasn't part of the trail, this was a side excursion.

Emma is so excited she gets to do it too.

Christopher on the swing.

How many people can we fit on the log?

Checking out the stream.

Adalyn found another baby cousin to hold.

Emma made her laugh.

We went to the Saratoga Springs temple open house.  Some walked home to Grandma & Grandpas afterwards.

Michael changing the way to play at our playground

Its always hit or miss if Adalyn is going to play in the water.

Joseph vs. Makayla in the games planned by Grandma and Grandpa

Cup stacking time.

Oreo face time

Go Michael Go! Rob's not so sure.  Matthew might do it.

This is how the younger kids did it.

Emma and Brooklyn sharing.

Our first time trying diamond art.

Grandma got diamond art keychain kits.  It was also the bounce house day.

Our last night we saw Mary Poppins

These guys were a little young, but Adalyn sat still when she was tired and cold...the 2nd half.

Tea party at Grandma's.
